1. Up the Arimidex to 1mg/day. (I don't like Adex due to the fact that it KILLS HDL-good cholesterol, but it will take care of the aromatization and help with water retention.)
2. Studies from Europe showed that 40mg Nolvadex/day for 6-8 Months actually began to shrink the nodule under the nips, and in some cases actually reversed the gyno. Yep, no surgery! Trust me, you don't want the gyno surgery! I had it, and the Plastic Surgeon had to re-do it twice to get it right. That's right, pain, and out of the gym twice. Argh!
3. If I were you, I'd be on 20-40mg Nolvadex and 1mg Arimidex/day at least until you get the swelling, tenderness, and itching down. (Yes, Nolvadex can lower IGF, so know that. Nolvadex is, however, a VERY good ancillary for gyno issues, but it's either max gains without it, or a loss of some gains, and no surgery with it. Your call on that one.)
I've had great results with Adex, but again, it DESTROYS your HDL! If I can get Aromasin tabs from a trusted S*****, all is good. I'm personally having a hard time finding a research liquid that's as good as both the Adex and Aromasin tabs. And since my guy doesn't stock Adex and Aromasin tabs anymore, I'm having to trust these research outfits. Argh!
I compete on a National level, and the Femara isn't popular with any of my peers. I'm shooting for my Pro card, and you may be surprised to know that many of us who've been in the iron game for many, many years stick with Adex, Nolvadex, and Aromasin (Exemastane) over the dostinex for progestin problems, femara, and other new "and improved" ancillaries.
When I was working a booth at the Arnold this year, I kept getting questions about stuff like the Pramiprexole, etc., from guys (with the nerve to ask gear stuff at the booth lol), but that and many other drugs left us scratching out heads wondering what the hell some of this newer stuff is. Advice: stick with the basics until others test this stuff out.
If I were you, I'd be on long term Nolvadex as your amount of test use is VERY low! VERY! I use... Well, a little more than 500mg/week lol. Sounds like you're very sensitive to aromatization. No big deal. Just gotta stick with the Nolvadex for a long enough time to get it under control. Best of luck to you!
